**WHAT:** This is an attempt to write a simple iteration of XRandR using XCB and C++. **WHY:** I'm not familiar enough with this ecosystem to be useful in it, and I need to start getting some familiarity with it before I start hacking a Rust project that needs XCB/XRandR capability. **REQURIEMENTS:** This code has been tested with gcc-7.3, and should work on any C++17-compliant compiler with the relevant standard library, and obviously X Windows. **STATUS:** In progress. **DETAILS:** **BUILDING:** From the base directory of the project: mkdir build cd build cmake .. make
